Preschool Rainbow Activities and Ideas

I have a slight obsession with preschool rainbow activities.  As a Pre-K teacher, rainbow activities are one of my favorite things to do with my little learners.  I love rainbow science experiments, rainbow crafts, rainbow books, and rainbow artwork.  In fact, my classroom is covered in beautiful rainbow colors.

While March is the perfect month to incorporate these rainbow activities for little learners, you can actually use a rainbow theme at any point in the school year–especially during the Spring.  Rainbows also make a great back-to-school lesson on colors.  Keep reading for some of my favorite rainbow activities and be inspired!
